[98G]

If there's anything I can deliver for you or transport for you, let me know.

Empty 1ton pickup on the way out, empty 1ton pickup and M1082 on the way back. Departing Ft Carson tomorrow.

(I don't really expect anything to come of this, but you never know)

Sure was nice of you to offer though................................

 

[silverstate55]

Hope it's uneventful & successful.

 

[98G]

It tows far better behind a pickup than I'd anticipate....

 

[Dwnorton1]

Thank you for your picture. Trailer is way more level than I figured it would. I was considering one of these trailers at some point and wondered if a regular truck could get it home. How high is your pintle hitch. Looks level with receiver but it's hard to tell from angle of picture.

 

[98G]

The truck is lifted, and the bumper is custom designed with a higher hitch specifically to tow military trailers level.

How did you get by pulling it that far without lights hooked up?

 

[Dwnorton1]

Wow what a bumper. I pity the yugo that every rear ends you. Will total the car and might scratch the paint on yours. �� When I was considering, I was worried about tongue weight, with bumper like that, not a problem. Thank you for pictures!

Ok, good job. I can see them now in the daylight!

I have seen this bumper, and pics don't show the quality of the welds, or the design of it. Works really well with m105 and M1082. The magnetic lights are the way to go, just make sure you take duct tape and zip ties with you when you buy a set of the lights.

Dwnorton1, I have a M1082 in my collection, if you wish to take a look at it sometime let me know. One of my favorite trailers.

Man i want a 1082.

 

[lindsey97]

I need a couple more M1082. They are useful and go well with a 5 ton. My dream trailer is M1095.

 

[big block 88]

Thats the tandem axle if I remember correctly. I wouldnt be upset with either of them honestly.

 

[MWMULES]

I was wanting a 1028 also but it seems like the deck height would make it pretty hard to load via hand, a deuce bed is really too high for us altitude challenged folks.

 

[FloridaAKM]

I missed buying a really nice one last week on the GP auction, so looks like gotta keep trying. Shipping is a big problem not to mention!

I loved the designed safety chain holders. I could tell that some serious thought was put into its design. I will have to take you up on the invitation on looking at your trailers as your just up road from me. Although might not be real wise considering this newly found addiction to OD green paint and even desert tan. I'm only playing small with generators right now to feed habit, terrified that I am going to move to bigger steel.
